[Q] Used Odin3 to root, cant open SuperSU want to go back safely to dry again

Hi,
This is a great site.
I am doing this cause I deleted some photos by accident and want to use one single program that needs the phone to be rooted. Because there is no mass storage connectivity you know how it goes.
I used Odin3 to install "CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar.md5" to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Android 4.3.
Odin says "PASS!". When I try to start the SuperSU (version 2.01, was installed by Odin and CANT BE UPDATED in the play store, not even removed only opened form play store. This was the most common fix that people are giving to this situation, but it does not work for me because there is no update possibility) Because KNOX says unauthorized attempt to access not accessible areas. SuperSU does not prompt the possibility to terminate KNOX like some people are advising to do, even tough the 2.01 version of SuperSU should be able to do this. Even the RootChecker says that my phone is not rooted.
So my assumption is that the Root has not worked on my phone even tough Odin says so. So I want to try some other approach to root this phone. I just would like to know should I do some check for what Odin HAS changed in my phone and to try to change them back so I can for example try Kingos root safely.
So the questions are:
Does some one have a possible fix to my problem without me having to re root?
How can and what should I check before trying another root?
If I have to go back with stuff that Odin did, without it doing the root properly how can I do that?
And one a bit different question:
If I factory reset my phone it will install the 4.1 I thin on it, has no KNOX, will it write that on the part that is empty and might include that data of my deleted pictures or does it write it on the area that has the previous data of the Android system?
Thanks for advance if there is any advises.
Partial answer:
I followed basicly this instruction,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991
just needed to find the correct TWRP for my phone and used the older 1.65 SuperSU, there is something wrong with the 2.01 and it compatibility with my phone.
This video also helped cause the information was similar to the one in the link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQAkLgXjnCo
Installed the DiskDigger and got most of the photos, so now I need to find out how to convert it from root version to version so I can upgrade my phone.
Everything is really easy with Odin. If the packet that I installed with it first that does't istall the custom recovery system would have had some other KNOX combatible version of SuperSU I think it would have worked. No I just needed to use the KNOX remover to remove it from my phone.
Thanks for the form all the answers where her and it just took me some time.

my I467 kitkat rooted!
build number : I467UCUBNI3
android ver. : 4.4.2 kitkat
but I can't swap the Kingroot to the SuperSU.
and remove the Kingroot. I lose the root permission as you say.
anyway I am happy to use the Xposed Installer.
thanks have good day.

I used SuperSUME to remove kingroot and install SuperSU on mine.
There is a free version of it if you Google it... I didn't have much luck with the paid version in the Google play market... didn't seem to work for me.

Can you share the firmware file (I467UCUBNI3 Update.zip)?
Thank you for your help

Lost root H815, after using phone with root since 07 Dec2015

Hmmmm, phone bootloader is official unlocked. I rooted back then with Systemless Root as HERE and now this morning when I try to use a Nova Setting that requies root I find I'm no longer rooted. When I open Super SU it says no binary found. Don't want to go through the whole rooting again, anybody experience this and know a direct way to solve . Agrhhhhh
Yesterday I checked LG for system updates, might this have had some effect on Root?
11 : 40 hrs P.S. Did nothing except a 2nd restart and now it's ROOTED again Really don't have the head at the moment for using my the rooting part of my brain ( I very seldom do )
Hope it stays rooted

You have to disable automatic updates in the system settings, if you're rooted. Updating OTA will, of course, break root.
But rooting is so easy it should be no problem to gain root access again.

SM-T707A Root w/ Kingo, Switch to SuperSU on 4.4.2

*Updated 3/2017 to include same for LL updated SM-T707A*
For anyone else who has the SM-T707A (tab s 8.4" AT&T LTE version) -
Issues with this tablet:
1. Upgrading to Lollipop - seems that without an actual AT&T sim card installed, you're not going to be able to upgrade from 4.4.2 (cannot download the OTA update, and I haven't been able to find a download of the firmware online ANYWHERE).
2. Locked Bootloader - possible to carrier unlock for any compatible GMS carrier (I'm using mine with a T-mobile sim card), but seems that there is no way to unlock the bootloader/install a custom recovery.
(**NOTE: DO NOT TRY AND INSTALL TWRP OR USE THE UNLOCK/RECOVERY UTILITIES FOR THE SM-T705 ... while it seems like they would effectively be the same devices, both have exynos cpu and identical specs...I have tested out the odin-flashable methods from the development section that are for the SM-T705, and THESE WILL SOFT BRICK YOUR DEVICE. A HUGE ISSUE, SINCE THE STOCK FIRMWARE IS REALLY REALLY REALLY DIFFICULT TO FIND..)
SILVER LININGS:
1. Even if you have to stay on 4.4.2, you should be able to root with Kingo Root.
2. If you are rooted with Kingo on 4.4.2, and want to switch to SuperSU app instead of the KingoRoot one, you can try this (worked for me):
**Update 3/2017 - this will also work on LL updated SM-T707A
1. Install SuperSU app through google play store (regular install...NOT an update via recovery). This means you will now have TWO Superuser apps installed on your phone. Only the Kingo Superuser will have the authority to grant SU permissions at this point. Now open SuperSU and make sure it is installed. It should ask you to update the SU binary (you won't be able to yet, but make sure you get the prompt).
2. Download a terminal emulator app, or enable usb debugging in dev options, connect phone to pc, and open an adb shell.
3. Follow the instructions for switching to SuperSU available on android forums (search for "bakageta" +" supersu to kingo" +"android forums" ).
4. Download @bakageta's zip file and put on your sd card. Then open your terminal emulator or adb shell as root (type "su" + press enter) and run the first command: "# ./step0.sh" Remember to leave your terminal emulator open when you move on to the next step (same goes for your adb window).
5. Uninstall the Kingo Root apps (your tablet will then ~likely~ auto-reboot, closing the terminal emulator...DON'T PANIC, THIS IS OK.)
6. After your tablet boots back up, you should still have root**, but now your Superuser app will be SuperSU.
**UPDATE (3/2017, running the LL updated SM-T707A) If you are doing this on LL, you may need to also run the subsequent bakageta script, "# ./step1.sh" after the initial reboot to get SuperSU root access.
--> If anyone here knows how I can make a backup of the firmware I currently have installed (rooted stock 5.0.1) that can be used as a restore image via odin, please let me know! I'd gladly upload the file for anyone who is having trouble unbricking their devices, since the stock files are so insanely difficult to find for this particular variant of the tab s.
--Thanks to @Kingxteam
--Thanks to @bakageta for the alcatel scripts

see PM

chixvicious, did you ever managed to get those backups? I got a soft-bricked 707A and i also cant find the stock roms anywhere

still not allowed to post links, but files can be found at dropbox dot com/s/mjobo2sfa53x2dv/T707AUCU1ANH9_T707AATT1ANH9_4.4.4_USA_4Files.rar?dl=0

Okay so I can confirm Galaxy Tab S 707a 8.4" LTE can be rooted in 4.4.2 with Kingo. It's goofy like kingo is , but it worked unfortunately that's not quite enough for myself as six axis never communicates w. Stock annnnd tmobile sucks and are being jerks can't use it without special plan so I'm putting my WiFi board back in. If any one wants rooted 4.4.2 unlocked motherboard......useless wasted tech here, all thanks to software restrictions.

updated for anyone else playing with these / whom it may concern if they ever google up this old ass device , I confirm on 4.4.2 707a I have successfully root with kingo and them using SUPERSUME apk I have swtiched it fully to SuperSU . Also using online nandroid backup with the 805 LTE variant patch I was able to get a full backup. I think I'm in decent shape for experimentation as I'm on the lowest order firmware and hopefully , not sure but hopefully if anything goes badly i can just update to newer firmware. Going to attempt using SAFESTRAP recovery next

I still have 2 of these and am constantly disappointed at how much development there is for every other variants but this one.

I got safestrap in , was able to reboot and see it but no luck due to se enforcing , I tried everything to get it to permissive but no luck. I went back to my WiFi model ha , oh well. Have to look for a 705 that has unlocked boot / better firmware

pm me if you still have that!

PM me if you still have that! I randomly have an extra (shattered screen) Tab S 8.4" without a motherboard, and would play around with trying to unlock the bootloader on it if I had a mobo to put in it!
Thanks!

I could help get this permissive on kitkat, but not LL or MM.

What are your thoughts ? It's def still kitkat , but I've tried init'd stuff and all sorts crap. If i got permissive i could possibly get safestrap to boot and then try out roms intended for the regular LTE variant. It is just kind of useless for me as T-mobile it's device Id as tablet so they lock it out then if i just wanted to use it WiFi the TouchWiz stuff kills remote controls like six axis and stuff. Id prob use it daily if i could get past device id pickups / safestrap a way into better rom

anyone have the 6.0.1 firmware?

how to HTC Desire 526 temp root without pc

*Update*
Make sure you go into Settings/App Manager and Disable all Verizons App except the Mobile login and My Verizon Mobile app.
Easy way to do is type in the search for vzw,disable all of vzw apps. Then search for Verizon and disable all of Verizons related app except the two mentioned.Verizons bloatware seem to be the problem that prevents us to get tempt root.
****
1.Download KingRoot app and install it
2.Run the app, it will show theres no root method availabe,still try to root it anyways.
3. As soon as the rooting starts(percentage page going up) hit the home key so the app will run in the background.eek:therwise rooting will not work.
4.Wait for 2 minutes then click on the KingApp again, it might take a few tries and voila! Temp root.:laugh:
*Note*
1.make sure you have usb debugging enabled in Developer Option:good:
2.Bootloader is still locked so you will lose your root after any reboot.Sunshine is not sucessful in unlocking it rightnow.Maybe if we have a boot.img thats already unlocked we can flash it with Flashify app.:crying:
3. All root app works great, just cant modify any system files cause of temp root.

Htc 526 root?!?

Okay so the temp root can do what? Will root worthy apps detect the root and work up until a reboot??? if that's the case then the painfully annoying time spent to "re-temp root" the phone will be enough for me until KingRoot finds a way to successfully root the phone. :good:

If you get me temp root I can get perm root.
This temp root method isn't working for me

You have to keep doing it a few time.Im doing this even with the StageFright update. Once you get it the first time, everytime after that will work.It seems like Kingroot remember its exploit. Temp root will let you do things like running GameGuardian to cheat android games. Basically thats all I use tempt root for.
*Note*
Remember to run Kingroot rooting process in the backgroun only. Otherwise it will not work. As soon as you hit the root method, hit the homekey. Go use your phone as normal and then come back to the app,voila tempt root. It will ask you to fix the root binaries ,which means it works.

I also have full root but resets on reboot...

I'm not 100% sure but if the root resets after reboot then it's a temp root right?

Yeah. It's annoying.. I'd love to mod a little but it's been years since I dabbled. Full root would be fantastic. I've been looking for a solid solution that preferably doesn't require any help from a PC..

Hey Can u do and update on it because it's one work now in 2018
